2014 Illinois Braille Readers  Are Leaders (iBRAL) Contest For Kids

Sponsored by the National  Federation of the Blind of Illinois (NFBI)

Announcement of  Winners

***
I would like to thank all the students, along with all  the teachers and
parents who supported them, for participating in the first  annual iBRAL
contest for kids.  The  contest has been a fantastic success, and it seems
obvious it was a great  incentive for the students to read Braille for 
recreation,
and to improve their  Braille skills.  In the 6 weeks of  the contest, the
21 participants read an amazing 13,142 pages of Braille!
